Chandler ain't goin anywhere..sure as hell ain't go be replaced by Danilo any time soon...people are more excited, and it makes more sense to let Chandler grow just as much, if not more then Danilo...if anything they'll take away from idk Nate or Qrich or something for Danilo

If Chandler doesnt play aggressive basketball, drive the lane and get to the foul line then you will eventually see Gallo take over his spot.

Before Gallo played this year..Chandler had ALOT of game were he shot horribly from the field and didnt even played aggressive and just chucked up shots.

Chandler still has some things to learn.

The talent is there for Chandler but the discipline to know what your good at is still a challenge for him. He does the wrong things too much...example he shoots to many three's when he is obviously a better 2 point shooter.

The one thing that stand out between both players is their basketball IQ on the court. After seeing Gallo play two games I know already that he is a pretty smart player were Chandler needs work.

Gallo knows when to shoot and when not to shoot were Chandler just rolls the dice on his talent every time.

Both guys have HUGE upside and playing together one day can be something to look forward to...they can be a dangerous combo at the 2,3 or 3,4 spots.

Chandler and Gallo both show to be good on both sides of the court and posses the ability to change momentum in a game easily and single handily....Chandler just needs to know his game a little better.

For now Chandler should start over Gallo but over time we are going to see Gallo take his spot if Chandler doesn't go back to the old aggressive, driving the lane type of basketball he played during the summer league and at the end of last season.

Far far away from the orgy that consist of clyde, 8's, rady, smokes and rono

Mike D'Antoni said the biggest surprise about Danilo Gallinari's game is his ability to cover the perimeter and competently defend two-guards and small-forwards.

"If he can do that, then he can play on the perimeter," D'Antoni said. "That just helps us that much more."

Gallinari is 20 years of age, listed at 6'10" and 225 pounds. He is expected to grower taller and stronger which could enable him to bang inside. Once that happens, D'Antoni expects Gallinari to be able to play three or four positions.

D'Antoni admitted that he at first assumed Gallinari would be the standard all-offense, no-defense European player, "because you make generalizations, which you shouldn't."

D'Antoni sees Gallinari's basketball IQ also translating on the defensive end. "[H]e has shown he knows angles, he can use his length. And he'll get stronger. There's no reason why he can't become a good defender on the perimeter, which, if he can do that and inside, then you've got a heck of a player."

wow, all Gallo really needs is to gain experience and strength then he'll be a great player in the NBA, cause from what i've seen in him, it's that he's got the "it" factor that superstars possess. For someone who hasn't played or practiced pretty much the whole season and for him to come in and play the way he has just shows how good he is/will be

When will the Danilo haters change their mind on this kid? I say kid because thats wht he is. Hes young, raw yet extremely talented. 17 points in 22 mins, 4-5 from outside. Thats not bad for a player who hardly plays. I think he can be a all star calibre player. Lets give him a few more minutes and see what else he can do.
